Christmas Ham (or for a good ham anytime!)  A full bone in shank ham or picnic ham.  Follow cooking time on the package (usually 20 minutes per pound at 300°, although I've cooked it before at 15 minutes per pound at 350 in order to get done faster). 

The last 20 minutes baste the ham with a mixture of juices from the pan, brown sugar, honey (or pancake syrup if you don't have honey), and a bit of pineapple or orange juice if you have it.

TIP:  Ordinary soft bristled paint brushes make very good basting brushes and also come in useful when decorating cookies and cakes.  A good set of brushes will really get you into the "art" of cooking!  I have three sizes, a 1", a 2" and a #8 watercolor brush.
